    Falcons interviewed Jets interim HC Jeff Ulbrich for their defensive coordinator vacancy.
    The Jets completed an interview with Ulbrich for their head coaching vacancy earlier this week. After going 3-9 as the team’s interim head coach following Robert Saleh’s firing, Ulbrich is unlikely to stick in New York next season. A defensive coordinator gig would be a good landing spot for Ullbrich, who has held that title for roughly five years in total. His first coordinator job came with the Falcons in 2020 when he took over the role midseason. New York hired him the next offseason.

    Cowboys reporter Ed Werder reports DC Mike Zimmer will not return to the team and will likely retire.
    Zimmer’s lone season with the Cowboys was a forgettable one, as his defense ranked near the bottom of the league in several categories. Injuries at key positions didn’t help his cause, but the 68-year-old coach has seen his defense rank in the bottom third of the league over each of his last three seasons (2020, 2021, and 2024), and may not be ready to call it a career. Zimmer’s loan head coaching gig came with the Vikings (2014-2021). He went 72-56-1 with them over that span while making three playoff appearances and making the conference championship game once. Werder also reports that the Cowboys are “likely” to hire former Bears head coach Matt Eberflus to replace Zimmer. We would expect to hear more on that soon.
  • PHI Center #51
    Eagles C Cam Jergens (back) is active for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Commanders.
    After previous reports that Jergens would be “unable to go” for Sunday’s contest, the Eagles did not list him with their game day inactives, suggesting he will be available in some capacity. NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo noted that “based on the pregame scene, one would think (Jurgens) would be in a backup/emergency role.” We may not know the Eagles’ starting center until the offense takes the field for the first time on Sunday.
  • WAS Wide Receiver #13
    Commanders declared WR K.J. Osborn, QB Jeff Driskel, CB Michael Davis, RB Chris Rodriguez, LB Dominique Hampton, OG Sam Cosmi, and DT Daron Payne inactive for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Eagles.
    The Commanders are down two key players in Cosmi and Payne, but both players were ruled out well-before Sunday. Washington hits the road at near full-strength as they hope to continue their unprecedented run toward a Super Bowl in their first year with head coach Dan Quinn and quarterback Jayden Daniels.
  • PHI Quarterback #16
    Eagles declared QB Tanner McKee, CB Eli Ricks, DB Lewis Cine, OL Nick Gates, OL Darian Kinnard, OG Trevor Keegan, and WR Ainias Smith inactive for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Commanders.
    Nothing out of the ordinary here. Two key players in cornerback Quinyon Mitchell and tight end Dallas Goedert, were both removed from the injury report before the weekend and are officially good to go for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game as the Eagles find themselves one win away from appearing in their second Super Bowl in the last three years.
  • PHI Center #51
    Eagles beat writer Jeff McLane reports C Cam Jurgens (back) is “unable to go” for Sunday’s NFC Championship Game against the Commanders.
    Jurgens, who entered the weekend listed as questionable, attempted to give it a go during pre-game warmups but is now expected to miss Sunday’s game. As a result, the Eagles will move LG Landon Dickerson to center and insert Tyler Steen at left guard. Dickerson’s experience as a center in the pros is limited, but during his final season at Alabama, he played 685 of his 716 offensive snaps at center.
  • ATL Coaching Staff
    NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reports the Cowboys requested to interview Falcons TE coach Kevin Koger for their offensive coordinator vacancy.
    Kroger signed on with the Falcons last season after previously working with the Chargers during the Brandon Staley era. The Cowboys aren’t the first team to request an interview with Kroger; the Browns also spoke with him earlier this offseason before opting to hire Tommy Rees as their next offensive coordinator. If he were to be hired as the Cowboys’ OC, it would be the first head coaching job for Koger at any level.
  • FA Offensive Coordinator
    CBS Sports’ Jonathan Jones reports Chip Kelly “is considered a target for both the Jaguars and Texans OC positions.”
    Jones also adds that Kelly “could get looks in Tampa Bay.” The 61-year-old former NFL head coach is fresh off winning a national championship in his first year as Ohio State’s offensive coordinator and had spent the previous six seasons at UCLA before leaving to take the job at Ohio State. Kelly spent six seasons in the NFL (2013-2016) during his time with the Eagles and 49ers. His offense ranked top five in both yards and points per game during his first season with the Eagles, and they finished 12th in scoring in his final year in Philly in 2015. Things went far worse for him in San Francisco, as his 49ers went 2-14 a year after Jim Tomsula led the team to a 5-11 record. There haven’t been any official reports of Kelly meeting with a team this offseason, but it wouldn’t be surprising if things ramped up in the coming days if the interest is real.
  • DET Safety #31
    Lions GM Brad Holmes said the team is open to exploring an extension for S Kerby Joseph this offseason.
    The Lions selected Joseph in the third round of the 2022 NFL Draft. The third-year safety who was snubbed from the Pro Bowl is fresh off his first All-Pro season, in which he snagged a league-high nine interceptions while also totaling 83 tackles. He has one year remaining on his rookie contract, but the Lions are understandably open to securing him to a long-term deal this offseason. Holmes said an extension for Joseph is “on the docket in terms of — to be looked at and discussed,” so it doesn’t sound like an extension is imminent. Still, with other top players — like Aidan Hutchinson — also due a new deal soon, it would be wise for the Lions to get Joseph under contract before worrying about other deals.
  • NYJ Quarterback #8
    NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports Aaron Rodgers is open to returning to the Jets next season.
    Rapoport also adds that newly minted head coach Aaron Glenn is “open” to the possibility of Rodgers returning to the Jets next season. The 41-year-old quarterback is far from a lock to return to the team next season, but the early optics suggest it could happen. Even if Rodgers does suit up for Gang Green in 2025, it goes without saying that Rodgers isn’t their long-term solution at the position. Currently holding the No. 7 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft, there’s a chance the Jets could find their franchise quarterback in the months to come, while Rodgers serves as a bridge to said QB early in the season. There’s still a lot to be sorted out here, but once what felt like a sure departure between Rodgers and the Jets could be more up in the air than initially believed.
  • WAS Offensive Coordinator
    Saints beat reporter Nick Underhill reports Commanders OC Kliff Kingsbury will not make a decision on his coaching future until Washington’s season ends.
    Underhill adds, "(Kingsbury) won’t begin evaluating his options until they’re done playing.” Kingsbury has been most heavily linked to the Saints, a franchise now approaching desperation mode after seeing four other teams sign new head coaches and Joe Brady pull out of the running after electing to remain with the Bills in 2025. They might be forced to wait longer if the Commanders can pull off another unlikely playoff upset over the Eagles in the NFC Championship game Sunday.
